The North Dublin North Leinster SNA branch has seen a surge in the number of activists, with over 100 new local representatives signing up since the start of the school year.

 

The branch carried out an extensive recruitment drive in the region, on the basis of an organising strategy developed by the branch’s executive committee over the summer months.

 

School’s organiser Michael Kerrigan welcomed the new activists, and explained that the branch undertook an extensive body of work earlier in the year.

 

“The branch has worked hard, mapping schools, representation and membership across the region, and contacting members who had expressed an interest in getting more involved with the union” he said. “Our new reps are very welcome. Most have now attended representative introduction workshops which have been taking place online throughout December."

 

The workshops included information and discussions on Fórsa structures and decision-making procedures, the role of local representatives, individual and collective grievances, motion writing and branch executive committee elections.

 

Michael said more in-depth training would be provided to representatives when Covid-19 restrictions are eased.
